    Siggi, the windows look great. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours.

    Roger, I don't think keeping the rifles serviceable would have been an issue. I would think that each rifle in the rack was issued to a particular sailor and that each day/night they had to clean their rifles for daily inspection.

    Eberhard, incredible, just incredible. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours.

    And a Merry Christmas to you, Bitao. Gorgeous work as always, it looks close to being done.

    Frank, you need to introduce yourself in your 'own new member introduction' where everyone has an opportunity to meet you, learn something about you, and welcome you aboard.

    Glen, I've got years of experience researching and working on one ship, the Tennessee. I've somewhat educated myself to model ship building by going through as many MSW build logs as possible during my time as a MSW member.

    Ray, welcome to MSW. I hope you'll start a build log for the Victory where we can follow along.

    Glen, just getting to your SIB and sips party, sorry for being late. I'll pull up a chair over here in the corner and follow along. Please consider all previous post a 'thumbs up'.

    Hello, Frank, welcome to MSW and Happy Holidays to you as well.

    Drinking coffee while reading MSW post should be done with caution........oh well, my computer screen needed to be cleaned anyway.

    Henry, I've often thought of you and your restoration effort over these past months. You've not posted for some time, I do hope all is well with you and yours. Please provide an update or just a brief message if possible. Happy Holidays........Keith

    Siggi, I agree with David, the glass looks great. It looks like glass of that period. Window glass history is pretty interesting, 18th century window glass was very different that todays glass. I'm surprised how large individual panes are depicted in 18th and 19th century models.

    I've had the same issue from time to time. I'm not sure but I think it might be related to how well the internet connection is at the time one is trying to download photos. This is purely a guess on my part.

    Lynn, I don't know if you're familiar with Gary's work? Above are two links, Gary does one of the better jobs of weathering I've seen. If you read his logs closely he goes into detail on his weathering techniques. I haven't had the right project to attempt weathering but should one arise I'd like to try because it looks like such fun.

    Mic, welcome to MSW.

    Boydie, welcome to MSW.
  21. Keith Black
    Phil, coming along nicely.
  22. Keith Black
    Lynn, are you going to 'weather' the keel blocks?
  23. Keith Black
    Plunge onward, Captain Tom. I'm right behind you with a fresh bag of popcorn.
  24. Keith Black
    Tom, I'm not suggesting anything, I'm merely trying to follow along. The windows you have drawn on the transom, does that represent sash and glass? Does the distance between windows represent counter timber width or finished mullion width? Can you decrease the distance between the windows allowing the transom to be narrower if that's something you're trying to achieve?
  25. Keith Black
    Tom, understood and I see/understand how the piece fits now, thank you. I figured #7 was dead. Is the piece you made wide enough?

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
